Think I’ll take a step forward with the Vudoo, well 22lr anyway. Let’s try a Quad

[Geno C.]

Been working on this whenever I can. Been trying to get something consistent speed wise so the 217/222” bullet can be shot over the AB radar today. Should have some results on bc and consistency. A friend will be shooting it because I can’t guarantee I’ll be free from work and be able to.

Been running AA9 has been running around 1300fps but every once in a while it’ll pop a case. I switched to N105 for the radar run and will be running at 1200fps for safety. I was able to get a solid load that held for 2 different range trips so as long as it does what it shows it will, we should get some solid data this evening.

Any updates on this ???

@Geno C.

Would really like to see those SDs down around 3ish

That high looks like a guy who uses a pellet smoker did it….

 

[Bryan W M]

Pellet smoker is that safer than propane?? I read somewhere that propane can put you in the hospital....
Hopefully @Geno C. has an update.

 

[Geno C.]

As an update, this is what the ab radar came up with

 

[Geno C.]

Been working with this some just always forget to update here. This was a comparison of the 50gr from Badlands and Cutting Edge. Cutting edge runs a bit faster. I’ll have to run the numbers to see if that makes up for the lower bc enough though. This load wasn’t tuned for either bullet. It was just the highest load of Pro Reach that I would run with hopes of all of the cases holding together. This was also shot with the CCI cases that came with the Cutting edge bullets, and it the usual Eley cases I’ve been using lately.

Geno C,
So to back pedal, what was the farthest range you’ve taken the factory 40 grain lead loads?
What was the fastest useful twist for factory lead fodder?

Doing a RimX also.View attachment 7569112

It's like a micro .22 Blackout... I love it! Man, I'd build/buy one in a heartbeat if I could get ammo for it at a decent price, or if I could reload my own .22LR brass with new primers, instead of all the hassle of repriming with compound.

I’ve taken factory match ammo to 900yards. I’ve tried it in 16, 10, 6 and 5.75 twists.

I don’t reprime.

Hey @Geno C. -- have you played much with the Cutting Edge bullets as of late? Just curious what you've been up to man!

 

[Geno C.]

Just the little speed/pressure comparison I did a couple weeks ago. Been always from home over the holidays and will hopefully be working on 22 stuff again soon. David Kiff is supposed to be sending me an action and some other stuff to start working with the 22lr centerfire brass

 

[One Mile Up]

I didn’t even know .22lr center fire was a thing! That sounds cool man! Keep us posted!

 

[Geno C.]

I don’t know anyone else running them yet, but they’ve been out for a couple years now

 

[One Mile Up]

Those are so cute! hahaha! So frigg'n LITTLE...

 

[Anb618]

How much does that change the pressure and burn rate dynamics? Seems like it’s reducing available powder volume space in the case by 1/3 or just under?

 

[Geno C.]

It’s reduced by quite a bit. Not sure how it will act compared to rimfire, besides able to handle much more pressure
